You're never going to believe this....

I have 4 things to tell you and all of them are incredulous to me. Are you ready? Seriously, have a seat. (I think I tell you to sit down all the time, don't I? Maybe because I wish I had more time to sit down?) Thinking of all of these four things together makes me feel giddy - as if I've had WAY too much caffeine - so I'm glad to be sitting down to type them. My heart is actually racing. So much to tell, so much to tell...

1. This is not Ginny related but I have the need to tell you that today is our 7th wedding anniversary. Really. Isn't that amazing? Where has the time gone? John and I were together for 4 years before getting married which means, grand total, we've been together 11 years. I was thinking that this year was our 6th anniversary. It's not. SEVEN YEARS? I cannot believe it. I am blessed and lucky and so happy and so in love and thankful for every moment and adventure I get to share with John - and couldn't ask for a better partner in parenting. Wow. Seven years. Makes me think about my Grandparents who were together for 56 years before my Gram passed away. Amazing. Wonderful. And I still haven't ordered a single picture from our wedding. It's on my to do list. I'll get there eventually. We even own and have all the photos on crazy high resolution DVDs. Oops.... where does the time go?

Where O Where Has the Little Blogger Gone? Where O Where Can She Be?

Where have I been? It all started when our computer got a virus. It was icky. For the first time ever, I had to send my little laptop away to the computer-doctor-men to be fixed. Those tech guys are kinda scary. They speak a foreign language and really don't like kids in their shop. Although, to be fair, my kids near their equipment might have scared them as much as their tech talk scared me. The computer-doctor-men confirmed that my computer was a wreck and needed a serious intervention. It was gone for days. I was email-less and blog-less and facebook-less and online FPIES support group-less for awhile. It was sad. I have to admit though, it did free up some time. The computer-doctor-men, true to their word, fixed things up and got us back together again, all for the low low price of $79.99.

It wasn't long after this happy reunion with my laptop that something even worse happened to my online life. Hackers. That's right. Hackers. I can't call them icky. I have worse words to use. They took over my email account. They took over my facebook account. I had to change the passwords for every online everything anywhere ever. What a mess. When I regained my email account, my inbox had been emptied. My contact list had been deleted. My facebook account, despite many valiant attempts at reclaiming it, remained closed for well over a month. This is when it all started - or ended really. After all that, I found myself online much less. Maybe my online habits were altered when the technology was on hiatus? Maybe I'm just wary of it all? Maybe this is all just rambling and with the holidays and 27 (no, that's an exaggeration, there are really only 7) family birthdays in December, followed by the flu and nasty colds running rampant in our house in the new year, life just got hectic. No matter the reason, I've been MIA. Guess it's time to make an online comeback...

While you and I were apart, Ginny has made some progress... as well as a few steps backwards, but good news first.
